Chapter 5: Knowledge Management (starting May 20th, 2014)

Knowledge is THE critical factor for

successful technological developments.

In simulation and modeling experts need to

share their knowledge to achieve
synergies. This means explicating tacit
knowledge.

As it is a most success-critical resource, we

need to find out how we can make
knowledge available to the development
processes in simulation and modeling.
